Cast: 7m., 3w. Intrigue, espionage and forbidden romance abound in Inga Binga, based on the amazing true story of Ensign Jack Kennedy's World War II romance with a suspected Nazi agent and former Miss Denmark, Inga Arvad. When rumors that Kennedy was seen in the company of a beautiful blonde bombshell and alleged Nazi agent began to circulate around wartime Washington in 1942, the FBI was soon on the case. Jack and Inga arrange for a secret liaison in Charleston, S.C., checking into a hotel under assumed names. But FBI agents are in hot pursuit, setting up recording devices in the next room, where they begin to listen in on Jack and Inga's steamy tryst. When reporters from LIFE magazine show up, eager for a photo of the clandestine couple, the makings of a full-blown farce are soon in the works. Based on declassified FBI files that were held in secret in the offices of J. Edgar Hoover for more than 50 years, Inga Binga is a fictional and farcical romp through this steamy footnote in American history. One int. set. Approximate Running Time: 2 hours.
